    Lori did a great job on our cake. The designs were perfect and the taste was above and beyond. I would not recommend having anyone else.

    Super easy and affordable desserts

    Cakes by Lori was one of the easiest vendors to work with. We didn't meet her until 2 days before the wedding but between our emails, phone calls and her expertise, we had a cake and desserts just as we requested and they were delicious! Thank you, Lori!

    Lori is amazing! Super sweet, easy to talk to and really listens to what you want. For the tasting she brings tons of flavor options to mix and match. It was over all a great experience!

    Absolutely loved!

    The cake was more than we could have hoped for! We had 5 different flavors and fillings and they were all delicious. Lori was wonderful to work with and we couldn’t be happier with our cake.

    Beautiful AND Delicious!

    Lori makes beautiful, delicious cakes! She gave us lots of flavor combination and decoration options, and helped us pick the best quantities for our guest count. She also decorated the cake with blooms from our florist, and it was breathtakingly beautiful! She bakes a replica of your top tier on your 1 year anniversary, so we were able to have the one she made for the wedding brought up to our room to snack on at the end of the night - we can't wait to have it again next year!

    Wonderful!

    Lori made two beautiful cakes for our wedding, along with four types of cupcakes! They were not only pretty but delicious and we had tons of compliments!

    Lori is amazing!

    Lori was amazing. She had made cakes for some family and first in the past and we knew she would be our first stop when looking for someone to make our cake. Her tasting was great and she took the time to answer all our questions and concerns. She has a binder full of pictures of past clients beautiful cakes for you to look at if you need some inspiration. She made this step in planning so easy.

    Cakes by Lori did an amazing job on capturing my vision! We ordered a cutting cake for my husband and I to cut during our reception, and cupcakes for the rest of our guests! I wanted very clean, white and simple and Cake by Lori delivered just that! We loved our wedding cake and it tasted SO good! So many compliments from our guests! I highly recommend the lemon cake with raspberry filling (our cake) and our fan favorite cupcake was a white cupcake, with strawberry filling and Bavarian cream (tastes just like a strawberry shortcake)!

    In good hands

    Lori was amazing. She took my vision and created a masterpiece. I shared with her how great everyone at my Renewal said the cake was and that by the time I took a break to eat a piece, it was all gone. She then promised to make me samples whenever I was in the area. She did! That was beyond the call of duty. I can't thank her enough. I recommend all my friends to her. She makes all my special occasion cakes.

    Working with Cakes by Lori was a wonderful experience. We had a consultation in which we were able to taste different cakes and fillings as well as describe the design we were hoping for. We had a wonderful time. I also found the prices to be quite reasonable. The cake was absolutely delicious! The cake was delivered on time despite an unexpected snow storm. I would highly recommend to anyone!

    Lori was exactly what I was hoping for in a cake designer! I had some bad experiences with some of the other places around town, being condescending or just not wanting to take the time to talk with me. I was surprised by their attitude. Then I called Lori, it was like talking to that favorite Aunt that you love. I just knew by talking to her on the phone she was the one I wanted to use! She was available to meet with me right away, had amazing samples to try and extra to take home with me and was excited about the design I was wanting. She was so easy to work with and her cake tasted so great on the day of the wedding. I just knew I didn't have to worry about anything with her. I even have her business cards at my business (a local jewelry store) so when brides come I can recommend her! I wish I could post a picture of my beautiful cake!

    Lori has been great to work with so far! She is very knowledgeable and very professional. I sent her a picture of the cake I was wanting and she was able to give me a quote in no time. I am confident my cake will be exactly how I envision it to be :)

    Lori was incredible! She was very flexible and open to any ideas that I had for my cake and was so helpful when trying to decide cake flavors for our sheet cakes. Her prices were also very reasonable. I was confident that everything would turn out perfect, so that was one less stress on the day of! I would recommend (and do recommend) Cakes by Lori to anyone!

    Lori was amazing. She was so accommodating in every way. We live out of town and Lori was great with scheduling. She worked around when we could into the champaign area. We even had the ribbon for our cake shipped directly to her, and when the ribbon wasn't long enough she went through her stock and found a replacement that worked great! Everyone loved how beautiful our cake was and even more so how flavorful. If you are getting married in the champaign area definitely give Lori a call!
